VISION
My research lab has served to pioneer the burgeoning field of Mathematical Neuro-oncology generating
excellent data to support new approaches to personalize precision treatment choices and thus improve the
lives of brain cancer patients. We achieve this through the development of patient-specific mathematical
models ideally applied to routinely acquired clinical imaging data to generate accurate predictions of disease
course and response to therapy in individual patients that can be used inform novel therapy design.
